I've been searching and asking about <a href="http://usedcars.rayskillman.com/" rel="nofollow">used cars in Indianapolis</a>, and I must say that there are lots of good offers there. Good news for me, of course. One of the <a href="http://usedcars.rayskillman.com/used-cars-indianapolis-indiana/" rel="nofollow">used cars (Indianapolis, Indiana</a>) that I would love to own is what else, but the Mini Cooper S, being sold for less than $13,000. I like the <i>white</i> or <i>red</i> one.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239524189350526712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-73672380720558276612009-03-27T23:24:00.000+00:002009-03-27T23:24:00.000+00:00Ponita - They were sharp, but infuriating to keep ...Ponita - They were sharp, but infuriating to keep clean! They don't offer the white wheels on the Clubman because you could only have them with a white roof, and you can only get Clubmans with silver or black roofs. I'm such a Mini nerd. <BR/><BR/>You know there's a little four-wheel drive Mini coming soon?<BR/><BR/>http://www.motoringfile.com/2008/09/09/mini-crossover-concept-official-release/<BR/><BR/>Tara - Apparently the States is the biggest market for Minis now so hopefully you'll be seeing a few more soon! I think if you're going to have a blue Mini, you'd definitely want it to be a free-of-pollution ocean blue one!<BR/><BR/>MissyandChrissy - Believe me, it took a lot of hard work. And I really didn't clean them as much as I should've. All the blood, sweat and tears was worthwhile when they were sparkling in the sunlight, though. Of course then two days later they'd be filthy again…Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214166935447694402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-21615467021537789682009-03-27T22:37:00.000+00:002009-03-27T22:37:00.000+00:00i don't know how you manage to keep those white wh...i don't know how you manage to keep those white wheels clean - very impressive! my car is silver but looks permanently gray from all the sludge that gets all over it.missyandchrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141201903688496110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-77488971643943669172009-03-27T13:15:00.000+00:002009-03-27T13:15:00.000+00:00I don't see many Minis around, but I love the ones...I don't see many Minis around, but I love the ones I have seen. They're always in bold, cheerful colors. The last one I saw was ocean blue (the free-of-pollution type of ocean blue). Very nice.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-22885734487019371842009-03-26T19:13:00.000+00:002009-03-26T19:13:00.000+00:00I do like the white wheels... very sharp! My siste...I <I>do</I> like the white wheels... very sharp! My sister has a royal blue and white Cooper S Clubman. It has chrome (or shiny metal of some kind) wheels, not white. I don't think I have seen one with white wheels here.<BR/><BR/>Is it old enough now that you are wanting a newer one?<BR/><BR/>I am seriously thinking of trading in my Chev Blazer for something smaller and more economical on gas, but I hate the thought of giving up 4 wheel drive, especially after the dump of snow and ice we just got.<BR/><BR/>Have to seriously think on this one...Ponita in Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886875733169389887noreply@blogger.com
